CLASS I. — MAMMALIA. 



ORDER II. QUADRUMANA. 



Of this order three principal genera are enumerated, viz. I. Simia, 

 Lin., II. Hapale, Illig., and III. Lemur, Lin. ; the first and last of 

 these contain so many subgenera and species that they almost deserve 

 to rank as distinct families, for Simia has fifteen subgenera, Lemur 

 five, while Hapale has only two, which however contain more than 

 eight different species.

This is according to the classification followed by Cuvier in the 

 second edition of his Regne Animal, published in 1829. 



The first eight subgenera of SimicB inhabit the old world, the re- 

 mainder are found in the new, and have received the general appel- 

 lation of Sapajous (Cebus Erxl).
